New Delhi, Sep 19: After the RRB JE Exam paper 2019 leak, a new agency is being considered.
The railways has invited applications from public and private stakeholders to conduct the recruitment tests. Once selected the agency would work as the Examination Conducting Agency.

do
a
pre-audit
of
all
exam
venues,
communicating
to
candidates,
security
invigilation,
frisking
of
candidates
and
also
capturing
biometrics.
A
decision
would
be
taken
after

2019,
once
the
board
meets
with
the
bidders.
The
move
comes
in
the
wake
